"I hired White Lion Painting to paint the entire interior of my home. We painted every surface including, walls, cabinets, baseboards, ceilings, doors, trim and even fireplace trim. Antonio and his guys treated my home with respect and arrived on time every day. Antonio had guys at my house on a daily basis, including Saturday, Sunday, and Memorial Day. No gaps in work days and wondering where people are. These guys work hard. His guys do quality work and only top quality products are used. They prep surfaces and cover all valuables. Ever, one of the crew leads, did a fantastic job floating my entire living room ceiling to ensure it was flat and all cracks were repaired. He shot new texture on the floated ceiling and anywhere else that needed attention. All holes, cracks, and wall imperfections are fixed. Fantastic skill. Antonio won’t leave until you’re happy. I had a few items I wanted him to look at and he didn’t hesitate to not only fix those, but find other things I didn’t even see. He has a great eye for detail and gets his guys to your property quickly to address any concerns. Antonio and his crew even returned after my whole house remodel to touch up and paint my trim that was installed after my flooring was done. White Lion Painting completes the entire process and doesn’t leave you hanging, which is everything when you’re doing a stressful remodel. In painting, you get what you pay for. If you want the cheapest, go with the lowest bid, but if you want the best, use White Lion Painting."

Plaster Repair questions, answered by experts

Smaller is better when patching holes with spackle. Any holes wider than four to six inches in diameter tend to be too wide to repair with spackle alone. You'll likely want to patch bigger holes with a drywall panel. 

Even holes measuring up to 6 inches may be challenging to fill with spackle alone. For best results, purchase a wall repair patch made from wire mesh. Cut the patch to fit over the hole, then use the spackle to hold it in place. Apply the spackle over the patch as you would for a smaller hole.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

Costs depend on damage size, labor rates, and whether additional services like painting are required.

All plaster walls will crack over time due to normal house settling and expansion and contraction from temperature and moisture changes. Small, thin hairline cracks are generally not serious and are mostly a cosmetic issue. However, larger or more significant cracks can indicate structural problems.

Here's how to tell the difference:

  • Cosmetic Cracks: Cracks that are 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) or thinner are typically cosmetic.

  • Structural Cracks: Cracks wider than 0.5 cm, excessive or deep cracks, multiple cracks in the same area, or cracks that span around corners can signify a structural or foundation issue. Cracks along the joints where walls meet the ceiling also warrant attention.

For cracks wider than 0.5 cm, structural repair is needed. If a crack is 2.5 cm (1 inch) or wider, or if you notice any signs of a structural problem, it is best to contact a plaster repair professional to assess the damage.

You will be placing holes in the wall to hang the mounting bracket. If you’re mounting a large TV, the bolts in use could make significant holes around half an inch in diameter. Other than a few holes, though, the process of mounting the TV should not cause significant damage to the wall, unless you make an error and miss the wall stud, tearing out drywall. Should you decide to remove the mount later, the DIY drywall repair cost for a small hole usually is $10 to $30. It’s a repair you can do in a few minutes.
